Wyoming judge weighs the state's historic abortion bans
Newsy
The decisions include how to handle the state's first-in-the-nation explicit prohibition on the use of medication to end pregnancy.
A judge in Wyoming was expected to decide, as soon as this week, whether to strike down, affirm or hold a trial over the state's abortion bans, including its first-in-the-nation explicit prohibition on the use of medication to end pregnancy.
Also, in Idaho, an Ada County judge said on Thursday he would decide within the next month whether to dismiss a lawsuit filed by four women and two physicians against the state of Idaho challenging the scope of the medical exceptions in the state’s abortion ban.
Meanwhile, a coalition of businesses said that ambiguities in Texas’s abortion ban are making it harder for businesses in the state to recruit workers.
Several U.S. states have de facto bans, but Wyoming's explicit ban on abortion medication would be the first of its kind in the country.
The decision will more than likely be appealed to the state Supreme Court, and that is expected to set up yet another statewide showdown over abortion regulations.
